Why come back to Vietnam in 2017?
Q: Why is Vietnam special in your opinion?
A: Vietnam is special for so many reasons. The History of the country in itself sounds like thrilling myths and legends. Then there’s the incredible diversity of scenery with unique natural wonders, World Heritage sites all around the country, and warm-hearted people giving a genuine meaning to hospitality. There are numerous different ethnic cultures, totally wild areas. And the food… it’s one of the most diverse cuisines in the world.
Q: How has it changed over the past 10 years?
A: Cities have changed a lot with an increase in the number of cars and the emergence of many high-rise buildings and residential areas. The people in urban areas are much better off than they were before and this has affected the prices of everything. 10 years ago, a bowl of Pho (traditional noodle soup) was 7.000 Vietnam Dong; today it is about 40.000. Life has changed, but we still find plenty of remote and pristine spots.
Q: Will travellers want to keep coming back? And if so why?
A: Sure, or at least they should. The potential of Vietnam is huge and under-exploited. When we talk about the destinations, there is always some pristine or less-travelled trail or village to explore. The coastline is over 3.000 kilometers long but only a few beach destinations exist so far, so there is room for many more. There is plenty of room for development and there will be a constant renewal of interest in the new destinations that emerge.

Discover the beauty of Moc Chau in pristine white flower season
Moc Chau Plateau is named as the field of dream as it is flowed throughout the year. Especially, in spring, many hills and valleys in the plateau are covered by white plum blossom creating an elegant and stunning beauty.
About 200 km far from Hanoi, Moc Chau Plateau is located in the northwest province of Son La and is easy to reach by both car and motorbike. Passing along new National Highway No 6 will give you an amazing experience to catch beautiful landscapes.
By about February, when the spring sun begins to chase away the cold winter, Moc Chau has a stunning and romantic white coat of plum blossoms stretching along from the hill sides into H’mong villages. That makes you feel like floating on a cloud walk.
